I find it appalling that the Boy Scouts of America have succumbed to political correctness and has possibly reversed longtime policy concerning openly homosexual members and leaders to be allowed within the ranks of that historic organization.

With this rationale, I assume it will be perfectly acceptable to have a red-blooded heterosexual male be in a leadership position within the Girl Scouts.

What's next, a merit badge for sodomy?

A troop sponsored by the National Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA), a known pedophile organization?

When are we, as a people who have some semblance of reason, going to stand up and say "no more"?

The liberal and progressive agenda is not to assimilate into culture but to radically change the way in which society perceives "normal."

As a father of a former Scout, I am relieved that he is no longer involved in this organization, as he would have to be removed by me.

The Scouts have long held onto the premise of "Duty to God" as one of their basic principles.

How can an organization now turn its back on biblical principles concerning homosexuality?

I urge all who have sons or relatives who are in scouting and who consider themselves Bible-believing Christians to rethink their support of this organization if it does, in fact, go the way of progressiveness.
